The final international break of 2024 is already underway, with Andre Onana‘s (£5.1m) Cameroon among the early birds in action.
Most of the international fixtures will be played from Thursday to Tuesday, however.
There’ll be World Cup qualification, Nations League fixtures and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers contested over the next week.
But it’s not the results of these games that will be of paramount importance to Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.
As ever, most of us will be chiefly concerned about injuries – and maybe a bit of fatigue.
Well over 200 Premier League players will be on international duty over the next week, so there’ll be a nervous wait to see if any flags are added ahead of Gameweek 12.
In this article, we bring you all you need to know about your globe-trotting FPL stars.
From potential late returnees and early withdrawals to the dates of every relevant fixture, our comprehensive guide has you covered.
ANY LATE RETURNEES?
Players representing countries from outside of Europe are generally the last ones back through the door at their respective clubs. They are, therefore, typically the biggest concerns for starts or game-time in the following Gameweek.
As usual, there are some international fixtures taking place in the Americas in the early hours of next Wednesday morning:

Players representing African and Asian countries tend not to be as big a concern. Most of them will have wrapped up their international involvement by early Tuesday evening, UK time.
Here’s a cherry-picked selection of which key non-European countries are playing where and when:
| Country | Players | Matches being played in… |
| Argentina | E. Martinez, Enzo, Buonanotte, Mac Allister, Garnacho, Romero | Paraguay + Argentina (Nov 14 + 20) |
| Brazil | Gabriel, Martinelli, A. Pereira, Ederson, Savinho, Guimaraes, Murillo, Paqueta, Andre | Venezuela + Brazil (Nov 14 + 20) |
| Cameroon | An. Onana | Namibia + Cameroon (Nov 13 + 19) |
| Colombia | Duran, Munoz, L. Diaz | Uruguay + Colombia (Nov 16 + 19) |
| Ecuador | Estupinan, Caicedo | Ecuador + Colombia (Nov 15 + 19) |
| Jamaica | Bailey, Pinnock, Antonio | Jamaica + USA (Nov 15 + 19) |
| Japan | Mitoma, Kamada, Endo, Sugawara | Indonesia + China (Nov 15 + 19) |
| Mexico | Jimenez, Alvarez | Honduras + Mexico (Nov 16 + 20) |
| Paraguay | Enciso, Almiron, Sosa | Paraguay + Bolivia (Nov 14 + 19) |
| Senegal | Jackson, I. Sarr, Gana Gueye, Ndiaye, P. Sarr | Burkina Faso + Senegal (Nov 14 + 19) |
| South Korea | Son | Kuwait + Jordan (Nov 14 + 19) |
| Uruguay | Darwin, Ugarte, Bentancur, S. Bueno | Uruguay + Brazil (Nov 16 + 20) |
| USA | Richards, Turner, Robinson | Jamaica + USA (Nov 15 + 19) |
NOTABLE OMISSIONS
Aside from sidelined players (some of them listed further down this article) whose injuries render them unavailable for selection, there are some welcome rests for a number of key FPL assets over this international fortnight.
This might be because of international retirement, because they weren’t selected by their national teams or because they’re suspended.
Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) is one such name, who has been omitted from Egypt squad. The Pharaohs have already qualified for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, so he’s been granted a rest.
Below are the most-owned FPL assets (4%+) who are fit but have two weeks without any competitive action:
| Player | Club | % owned by |
| Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | 49.5% |
| Emile Smith Rowe | Fulham | 26.7% |
| Danny Welbeck | Brighton & Hove Albion | 21.1% |
| Lukasz Fabianski | West Ham United | 18.2% |
| Harry Winks | Leicester City | 12.4% |
| Michael Keane | Everton | 11.1% |
| Matheus Cunha | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 9.9% |
| Dan Burn | Newcastle United | 8.5% |
| Joao Pedro | Brighton & Hove Albion | 7.4% |
| Nick Pope | Newcastle United | 7.0% |
| James Maddison | Tottenham Hotspur | 6.7% |
| Charlie Taylor | Southampton | 4.5% |
